To some of you out-of-towners who are going to stay overnight, I would be willing to get there ~8am to begin working with you, particularly as I haven't really worked with you before and so we don't have a short-hand, we don't have familiarity. If I say "Matt (@saevel25), do that umbrella thing, pause, and give me 100 yards" he'll know what I'm talking about.

What I'd recommend… 8am to 9am - I get started with @StuM and @dennyjones. 9am to 10am - I help out @Chris Brooks and @Carl3. 10am to 10:45am - I help out @saevel25 and @ChetlovesM

Hey guys. This was totally worth it.  I had a blast and I feel like I have new stuff to work on.  PLUS - @StuM proved he CAN hit a 300 yard drive! It happened I witnessed it.

I think we'll set that at $100. Normal rate for 45-minute lessons for me is $80, so $100 for five hours of "time" at Golf Evolution seems okay. Cash is preferred, but checks are fine, PayPal is f

I'll need to check schedule more but my interest is peaked.  I have @ 4 1/2 hour drive and would not spend the night in my SUV.  @Chris Brooks you can share a room with me if I do come.  I would only come with the anticipation of playing a round in the afternoon.  Just too long a drive for only a lesson (although I am sure it would be a great lesson).   As for golfing after a lesson, at least we would be with others in the same boat.

Normally this would work but my wife will likely come along for the ride. We often use chance trips like this to do some exploring / hiking so if she comes along I’ll stick to the van.

What I'd recommend…

  • 8am to 9am - I get started with @StuM and @dennyjones.
  • 9am to 10am - I help out @Chris Brooks and @Carl3.
  • 10am to 10:45am - I help out @saevel25 and @ChetlovesMer.
  • 10:45 to 11:30am - Everyone practices, I cycle around helping out everyone, people take breaks.
  • 11:30 to 1:00pm - Short Game + Putting work, small break in the middle maybe. All together as a group, then separately a bit.

I think Chet and Matt will be okay with this as they'll will know what they're working on, and I'll still be able to supervise them, and keep them on their tracks. Cost will probably be a little more than the normal hourly rate since you'll all be getting a decent amount more than what you get in a normal lesson.

That works for me.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Input welcome.  @dennyjonesand I will need a hotel.  We were initially thinking of the Stay-&-Play at Whispering Woods and try to do a round there Saturday.  Whispering Woods looks to be @ 20 minutes from Golf Evolution but not sure what hotels.  My questions are,

1) For those that hope to golf Saturday after the lessons, what course(s) are you thinking.  Naturally, weather will pay a roll in this.

2) Any suggestions on hotels. 

3) For any spending a night is there interest in grabbing dinner/drinks?

I stayed at the Cobblestone Hotel and Suites in Harborcreek the last two times I was in Erie. It was ok, nothing to write home about. I think it’s about 10-15 minutes from Golf Evolution and 20 minutes or so from WW.

I stayed at the Ramada by Wyndham Bel Aire in Erie once. I swear it was a Clarion or another name when I was there, but they may have sold the place. The place was undergoing renovations when I was there and a bit of a mess. I’m sure they’re done by now. They were fine, too. Location is much closer to stuff in and around town, and about 10 minutes away from both Golf Evolution and WW. Pre-COVID times, their breakfast was pretty good, because they had an actual restaurant in the hotel.

There are a few hotels on upper Peach street by the "Millcreek Mall." You could also stay across the street at the Avalon Hotel on 10th Street in downtown Erie, PA.

I’m open to suggestions and will go with the crowd on course selection. Have never played in the area - proximity to lessons probably important as days are getting shorter around this time of year.

Very up for a dinner / cocktail hookup the night before.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
